Food As Stress Reliever
About a decade ago, I retired from a very stressful job. I lost about 60 lbs over the course of that decade and kept it off. Yesterday I experienced two very stressful situations that are not resolved. This morning I started in on the peanut butter then moved to m&ms. At that point I started consciously checking in with…

Anyone else been through this??? I need a…

I'm sick. And indecisive.
What should I take? There's sneezing and lots of blowing of the nose and a sore throat that was worse yesterday. I may or may not have a fever. My body temp runs low and last I took it, it was 97.7 when I'm normally 96.whatever. This isn't allergies (which I normally get...and my allergy medicine didn't help) or Covid. I…

Calorie deficit phase — a.k.a. cutting
I am not new to my fitness pal, however, this is my first post. I am in week four of a calorie deficit. I have increased my protein, and been lifting for 14 months. My weight loss has been less than 5 pounds in 18 months, but I have made some gains in replacing muscle for fat. My trainer suggested a cutting phase because I…

Not meeting minimum nutritionals
So I created a new WLS group but we only have three members so I'm going to ask here. I am 3 weeks post-op from having a gastric sleeve and I'm only able to 'eat' about 600-700 calories a day. I was wondering if anyone out there might have some experience with post-op weight loss stalls after surgery and how caloric intake…

Disabilities and weight loss
I am new. I have a rare disease that is quite painful. Some days it hurts too much to eat and other days I eat way too much (usually when I feel sorry for myself because I am sick). I recently had a 8 week flareup during which I lost 14 pounds. I was happy to see the loss, but now I am worried that it may have screwed up…

Calories and Exercise
This is such a dumb question, and I'm sure it's been asked in some form before me. But when you exercise and burn x number of calories, are you supposed to eat the lost calories? So, for example, I eat 1200 calories in a day, then I burn 500 calories, do I need to eat 500 more calories?

Scale problems
I've had my scale for like 8 years. It's worked fine as far as I know. I've been using it daily for the last 2.5 months to track my weightloss. The numbers slowly went down in a pretty expected fashion for lowering my calorie intake. Down 50 lbs so far. Jump to today. The scale now reads 30lbs heavier than yesterday, so I…

Is it as simple as weekly CICO?
tldr : If someone maintains a deficit of 400 per day for 6 days of the week, and binges for 2,400 extra for one day, will their weight stay constant? A weekly CICO model would say yes. Is it really that simple? I've been using a spreadsheet to track my daily net calories and weekly weigh-ins, to get a better estimate of…

Why am I projected to lose less weight even if I am under my calorie goals?
Even thought I started out today with under my calorie intake, it is saying I will have only lost 6 lbs in 5 weeks, even thought I have a goal of 2 lbs a week. I am at 158 and am trying to get to 145. I was under 1200 today and it is still saying "if every day was like today you would be 152 in 5 weeks". WHY? :(

Unintentional OMAD
I'm not planning to move to one meal a day, but circumstances, namely DST sleep in, long-winded friends phoning at mealtime and higher-than-normal calorie meals, have pushed me in that direction this past week.

Medication and weight loss
Hi everyone. My name is Susan. I take meds that slow down my metabolism and cause weight gain and other side effects that hinder weight loss. Ironically the one that affects me the most is Adderall, because of the appetite suppression. I take it in the am and the loss of appetite kicks right in. And wears off around 5pm.…
